Oh this is cool!

So Mythos Mixtures is running a contest wherein one lucky forum user will get to have a blend they helped design made up, either as a Limited Edition or a catalog blend. They asked for suggestions that fit in with their overall mythological theme.

And so I came up with the following:

Peris -- (in Persian--Pari) are descended from fallen angels who have been denied paradise until they have done penance. In earlier sources they are described as agents of evil; later, they are benevolent. They are exquisite, winged, fairy-like creature ranking between angels and evil spirits. They sometimes visit the realm of mortals. (source: Wikipedia)

A mix of Persian fruits (pomegranate and apricot), honey and spices (cardamom, saffron, cinnamon, ginger) with either a resinous (amber and/or frankincense and/or myrrh) or woody (sandalwood) base.

Note: Persian spice mixes almost always include ground dried rose petals or buds. But since this is my mixture suggestion and my body won't let me wear rose, I'd prefer it if it got left out.

Aster, another member of the forums, came up with this:

Sekhmet-Hathor, She With Two Faces http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hathor

In Egyptian myth, the leonine goddess Sekhmet was created by Ra as a divine avenger. He ordered her to punish the humans who had defied him, and Sekhmet fell upon Ra's enemies, slaughtering mankind and drinking their blood. When Ra took pity upon humanity, he found that even he was not strong enough to stay Sekhmet's hand. He instead tricked her into drinking great quantities of beer by mixing it with (in some stories) pomegranate juice to make it blood-colored. Intoxicated, the bloodthirsty war goddess Sekhmet became the kind cow-goddess Hathor, protector of women and goddess of love, joy, and music.

Dragon's blood for Sekhmet the Terrible, honeyed wine for Hathor the Lady of Joy, a warm and furry base of musk for the goddess' aspects of lion and cow, and the barest touch of pomegranate.

The forum voted and, since we were not allowed to vote for our own blend, Aster and I voted for each other's blends. They tied.

In the tie-breaker post...they're still tied. I would probably order Sekhmet-Hathor if it got made, but I would really really like it if Peris got made. So I'll be over here, crossing my fingers.
